Tickets to the San Juan de Ulúa Fortress
Why Visit the Fortress of San Juan de Ulua?
Ready to delve into the origins of Veracruz and journey back to colonial times? Look no further than a visit to the Fortress of San Juan de Ulua—a key monument that unravels the city's history.
Perched on a small island, the fortress holds historical significance as the first landing site of Spanish conquistadors in 1535 upon their arrival in these Mexican lands.
Constructed as a defense against pirate attacks, the fortress also witnessed an invasion by American troops in the mid-19th century. Discover these fascinating stories and more through information panels scattered throughout the monument.
As you explore the fortress, stroll through mysterious tunnels, encounter the remnants of prisons, and marvel at the ruins of the old palace that once graced this monumental complex. Additionally, take in the breathtaking panoramic views of Veracruz and the Gulf of Mexico from the vantage points within the Fortress of San Juan de Ulua.
Operating Hours
The fortress is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10 am to 4 pm. However, please note that these hours are subject to flexibility and may vary.
